Is it through MAGLDR or clk? Aren't there really any issues and is all hardware-potential functionallity delivered?

To take just first example (of many reported): can you charge the phone when the device is switched off (or battery 100% depleted) or can you boot when is powered just with battery (i.e. with charger plugged off)?

---------- Post added at 05:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:36 PM ----------

and how about spying? (what we already know from Android and even Bada)

So what issues does WP7.5 posses? Please, reply honestly...

BTW If I have many favourite apps from WM6.5 and fully accustomed to (customized either) - may I install them on WP7.5 too? Is there any sort of backward compatibility between WP7.5 and WM6.5?
[HD2 General] Mister B:
Yeh can not charge if loose all battery power .

6.5 apps has no compatibility to 7.5 ...

Wm6.5.x is fantastic in terms of flexibility, customization & real world professional use. Only issue was MS not developing or realizing potential of mobile platform growth & Google being so good at marketing & keeping the bad points hidden ...
[HD2 General] ictimai:
So you can't rely on such a set when battery full discharge (what is pretty usual) means you can do nothing with your phone unless you have any external charger (such that you take away battery from your phone to charge externally), can you?

However can we treat WM6.5.x as the ULTIMATE system? Once you install, apply all the tweaks invented so far by "the comunity" and then you can forget about maintance and just USE it!

The endless tamperring with it seems "art for art's sake"...
[HD2 General] mario_net:
wp7 no more explanations

it's the best for business and entertainment

not so many trash programs as android
[HD2 General] lo2ay:
In my opinion, the best mobile OS EVER is SYMBIAN :P :P

Battery lasts for more than a week !!
[HD2 General] ictimai:
So what if somebody has aboundance of his/her favourite applications once purchased for WM6.5 and masterred their use and customization?

You propose now to waste a lot of time and money to buy again the whole bunch of software, but now for the new version of OS, and afterwards spend many weeks to get them to productive state - do you?

It would be good idea to port them all somehow to WP7 but is there any backward compatibilty? If not it is no more than foolish game!

ICS with hwa
[HD2 General] ictimai:
Is there any stable ROM with this? Specifically which one do you recommend? Please, insert a hyperlink here...
[HD2 General] XdaDevelopers 95:
The best rom is android
[HD2 General] ictimai:
So esy to write such blatant words - but which one? There are so many incarnations...

If you read the previous post dida234 sayd about "ICS with hwa" - ok, it understandable taking into account hardware acceleration not only accelerates but also saves battery.

It is so surprising the hardware acceleration wasn't utilised so far in Android ROMs for HD2 Leo!

So what about Windows Mobile - do WM ROMs have hwa?

Furthermore, please suggest which Android ROM with hwa is the best - meaning: the most stable, the least greedy for hardware resources and battery?
[HD2 General] aptandon:
Android's the best for me too
[HD2 General] dazza9075:
In a manor of speaking, kind of! Lol this was and to a degree still is the biggest problem for wm, in short, drivers for the graphics were never licenced, we eventually got some but they were never official and didn't make full use of the hardware this was a big fail for HTC and QC shouldn't have been so greedy!

Your asking for a stable android platform? Good luck with that :P
[HD2 General] Mithrandix:
Well i went this week from HTC Touch to HTC HD2 and i couldnt get it on a better time. With the new release of NexusHD2-ICS-CM9-HWA_V2.0(nand) on saturday it runs amazing.
[HD2 General] ictimai:
So for now, as I can see there are just 2 'serious' candidates at stake:

- [5.May.2012] NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.4-CM9-HWA V2.0 (Kernel: tytung_HWA_r2)

and

- [07-05-12][ROM] Unofficial AOKP for HD2 [Milestone 5 SE][HWA][4.0.4][securecrt 6.6c]

(am I right? or maybe I missed something?)

Yet in the future we can expect some from Dorimanx - as he promisses on his site to release his own kernel with HWA soon - but specifically when could it happen? :-/

Please, suggest which of them to invest own attention and work in to install?

Is it at all worth installing ROM with HWA, as some people report thus activated GPU consumes additional energy so such ROM drains battery more? (If this is true the ROM developers should provide a fast switch between some kind of 'hardware profiles' - eg. : "fast with HWA enabled" and "energy with HWA disabled")
[HD2 General] mainweb:
what a question. i think everyone must make experience and make test of each OS, after that you can find which Os is best suit you

[G Tablet Accessories] ramerco:
Hey all,

I am in touch with the people at xoskins.com for a screen skin for the g tablet. I have sent dimensions and photos and they are in progress on the design. This would not be a dry application protector that has air bubbles and peels up around the edges. Their protectors go on extremely well. I have put them on several devices with a lot of success. One has been on my phone for a year and it still is all the way down around the edges.

When I get mine, I can post some shots of it. Hopefully we can generate some interest so they can make more.
[G Tablet Accessories] aasoror:
How much did you pay ?
[G Tablet Accessories] ramerco:
Nothing yet, but I am guessing it will be $20. I also just saw the skinomi one for $15 shipped in the US. They look to be pretty much identical. The packaging and spray are almost the same as the xoskins I have gotten before (just different graphics).
[G Tablet Accessories] ramerco:
This screen protector skin is now available on xoskins.com for $18 using the code tabletprotector20. as soon as mine comes in i can post some pictures. like i said before, these have worked great for me in the past on othe devices. btw, I'm not getting kickbacks or anyhing, just spreadin the word.
[G Tablet Accessories] Cocide:
How do the XOskins compare to the Skinomi ones?
[G Tablet Accessories] ramerco:
I think they are the same. I forgot to order the xo skin after I got the email the design was done. Anyway, ordered it now. Will update when it arrives and I can compare to my skinomi.
[G Tablet Accessories] ramerco:
Just wanted to update that I got my xoskin. It is very much like the skinomi tech skin. I can hardly tell the difference. To me, I like the xoskin a bit better, I like the screen feel of it a bit better. Also, you can still get it for $20 shipped with the code from above.
[G Tablet Accessories] Cocide:
Thanks, thats great to know.
[G Tablet Accessories] aasoror:
Which is 30% more than the skinomi :), not sure if the difference in the texture would warrant the difference in price.

That said, its good to know there are other comparable alternatives there (once skinomi jacks up the price again or terminate their coupon).
[G Tablet Accessories] ramerco:
Exactly my thought...
[G Tablet Accessories] Traderny:
Screen Protector-Don't buy the military grade

I purchased some of these "military" grade screen protectors for the Evo 4g, but they really sucked to put on. So I searched on Amazon and ordered a matte one made by Aurum.

It's made from Japanese PET, which "supposedly" is the best, Got it a few days ago and it fit perfectly, more importantly there is no loss in sensation or sliding ability as it says. So I am happy, now I need a TPU case for it.:)
[G Tablet Accessories] aasoror:
I see this is the same picture posted on amazon. How does it fit ? I can't see any cutting for the camera/sensors, do it cover the touch area or the whole bezel ?

Thanks,
[G Tablet Accessories] Traderny:
No cutout for the camera/sensor, I put on the matte and it makes no difference that I can see. The Aurum screen protector on Amazon covers the ENTIRE bezel, so all the glass is covered (has the rounded edges for a tight tight fit). I attached a photo, don't judge me by my poor installation :D. All I care about is the smooth scrolling, and this achieves it, in my opinion.

I just saw they have a free shipping deal when you buy two.
[G Tablet Accessories] LoganFive:
Interested in drag component...

of the aforementioned protectors. The XOskin, Aurum, and Skinomi. Almost set to get a skinomi, but one complaint by some people is finger drag. How about the protectors the 2 of you have got? I'd almost forgo a protector if it's not going to give me a smooth surface. Thanks..
[G Tablet Accessories] evoss05:
at least the XOskin HAVE the holes for the camera ans led flash and Aurum and Skinomi doesn't.
[G Tablet Accessories] Traderny:
I was unaware that there was a flash for the G-Tablet, could you let me know where that might be :D.

As for the question above I can attest to the Aurum screen protector having very little finger drag(thats why I like it) and as to not having camera holes, well the 1.3 megapixel camera is not exactly great(I never use it). I use mine to browse the web, so finger drag is my main concern.

Aurum has a crystal clear one I think.....this will solve any camera issues. The link is below

[G Tablet Accessories] aasoror:
Which skinomi are you talking about ?
[G Tablet Accessories] troubleshot:
Can you post a pic of the xo skins fit? Is it good? I have used their skins before and they are by far the best. Just wanna make sure it will fit right.
[G Tablet Accessories] troubleshot:
I got the xo skins gtab screen protector There are cutouts for the camera and light sensor.. The install took me two minutes. Steamed up my bathroom after reading some install reviews to drop the dust out of the air. Ill post a full review on here in a bit.
[G Tablet Accessories] Traderny:
New Protector with Stylus

I have purchased another screen protector for my G-Tab, this time the camera cutout was present, as before it was simple to apply, peel and stick type of application. I chose to go with the clear one this time, because I began to use a stylus with my tablets which I LOVE. The protector is simply a safety measure to prevent any accidental scratches.

Hi all,

T8 is the new generation of zpad, has a 9.7inch 1024x768 IPS touchscreen, the same one with that on an ipad.

It's released in China last month, and I got one last week. I'm not sure if malata will oem it to viewsonic or vega.

I've been trying to put ubuntu on it for days, it's my first attempt to do these device hacking things, but no luck.

what I did:

1.rooted the device,

2.grab config.gz from /proc, grab pershoot kernel source from git, seems the hardware configurations of t8 is quite close to those t2, made some kernel configurations (disabled android staging drivers, enabled framebuffer console,etc), and built a kernel

3.mkbootimg

4.flash the boot.img into part10(boot.img) or part9(recovery) with nvflash

I also tried "Ubuntu Linux 11.04 (natty) on Vega" from hybr1d, and iammuze/houzuoguo's ubuntu 10.10, with certain unpacking-repacking works for the modifications of cmdline parameters

each time I boot the tab, it will run into 2 cases:

show the bootup logo, and turned off

or stopped on the bootup logo forever

looks like a bootloader problem?I tried some of those bootloader.bins, from malata official firmware, or tnt-lite, or 3rd party gtab firmwares, no luck

any hints?

TIA

I have a Xoom that is used but in mint condition (no scratches and the back still has the plastic cover). It also has a gel case and an unopened car charger.

Anyway, how much should I sell this device with the gel case and the unopened car charger now?

I want to get the Samsung 8.9" instead when it comes out.
[Xoom General] martonikaj:
Idk, look on ebay/craigslist? there isn't much of a market for used Xooms yet lol so its kinda hard to nail a price down.

Do realize that the 8.9 doesn't even have a confirmed release date other than "Early This Summer", by the way, so you're looking at a good 3 months before you get it :)
[Xoom General] Earthbrain:
Yeah, I know it is a long wait but I already have the ipad 1 and the Samsung Galaxy Tab so they will keep me occupied for the next few months.

I just want to have an Android device that I can use it at home. The Galaxy Tab is for portability and I have it in my jacket pocket all the time.
[Xoom General] Droid-Xer:
Samsung has zero support for their devices. The xoom will receive updates constantly since it is a google experience device. Good luck with it though

I love my xoom, but I admit a lighter, thinner samsung 8.9 does sound appealing.
[Xoom General] martonikaj:
Depends whether or not TouchWiz ends up coming out on both tablets in the US. From what it sounds like, they haven't decided which devices are gonna run stock 3.0 yet. The US models at CTIA don't even power on atm.

But yes if there is TouchWiz on it, updates will be slower than on the Xoom for sure. I guess if you're just gonna root it anyways, it don't really matter.
[Xoom General] atoy74:
I really wish these "sell my xoom" posts would stop. Go to ebay and do your research. This is a forum for enthusiasts.
[Xoom General] Eclair~:
Lol.

As long as I can root, or they update even once I'd be happy. The new Tabs seem so much more appealing than the Xoom. Mainly the screens, and of course the dimensions.
[Xoom General] aohus:
i'm just going to be selling my xoom once the samsung tablet is released and confirmed rooted + unlocked bootloader.

no rush to sell mine just yet.
[Xoom General] martonikaj:
+100. The Xoom isn't even a month old, gtfo with your "wanna sell my Xoom cuz I heard something better came out" posts. If you wanna sell it thats fine, go to eBay, Craigslist, Gazelle, etc. etc. etc.
[Xoom General] Earthbrain:
Maybe I should follow your footstep and wait. The only problem with that is that it will be a lot cheaper by then. I guess you cannot have it both ways.
[Xoom General] wang1404:
I think they're leaning toward the 10.1 because they stated that the 10.1 is intended for multimedia. So putting a custom UI on and bloatware like Samsung Hub may be there.
[Xoom General] martonikaj:
I'm fine with bloat applications, I'd just prefer if they keep the UX off of it.

Whether the tabs have TouchWiz on them or not, I'm sure they'll have all the samsung apps on them.
